Taken from MORGANGC's version - I have corrected the chords and some
lyrics as they didn't sound right. I *think* these are right ;-)
Happy playing, its a great song...

ON AN ISLAND
(Gilmour/Gilmour - Samson)
[Intro] Em Em Em Em
[Verse]
Em Am
Remember that night...
Cmaj7 Bm B Em
White steps in the moonlight
Am
They walked it too...
Cmaj7 Bm B Em
Through empty playground, this ghost's town
Am Cmaj7 Bm B Em
Children again on rusting swings getting higher
Am
Sharing a dream
Cmaj7 Bm B
On an Island.... it felt right
Em Bm
We lay side by side,
Dm Am
Between the moon and the tide
Cm Gm A
Mapping the stars for a while
[Chorus]
G A Em
Let the night surround you
G A Em
We're half way to the stars,
G A
Ebb and flow
G A G A Em
Let it go, feel her warmth beside you
[SOLO 1]
[Verse]
Em Am
Remember that night,
Cmaj7 Bm B Em
The warmth and the laughter
Am
Candles burn...
Cmaj7 Bm B Em
Though the church was deserted
Am Cmaj7 Bm B Em
At dawn we went down through empty streets to the harbour
Am Cmaj7 Bm B
Dreamers may leave, but theye're here everafter...
Em Bm Dm Am Cm Gm A
Da da da da da....
[Chorus]
G A Em
Let the night surround you
G A Em
We're half way to the stars,
G A
Ebb and flow
G A G A Em
Let it go, feel her warmth beside you
[SOLO 2]

It's nice to see people chording my work.

The Em in the intro and verses begins with a Em/G (3-2-2-0-0-0) and then to the Em. Basically he just alternates the bass note, but it makes a world of a difference. Also the Bm in the verse is a Bm7, and the B major only comes in every second time. The chords during the first solo are Em11 (0-2-2-2-3-2) - Cmaj7 - Em11 - F. After the last F chord you move up to G to lead into the chorus.

Nice work but what about de B7 at the end? a G or Bm would sound better I think.
